They help us to un- derstand the world and they influence the worldasthey interpret and construct reality. Leaders are people whohaveinfluence. They will, wittingly or unwit- tingly,use metaphors while leading and this usage maybegoodoreviland have either positiveornegativeconsequences. As manymetaphors are discussed in this book, it was difficult to decide on howtoorganise them in acoherentorder.After much discussion, the editors agreed to organise the chapters of the book according to the sources from which the metaphors were drawn.Some authors discuss metaphors drawn from social interaction,for example, the ‘inner ring’, inclusion,‘stealing people’s lunch’, perpetual minors, and baptism.Several metaphors relate to professional life: entrepreneurs;midwives;kings, prophetsand priests;and even the military profession. Readers are further introduced to surprising metaphors fromthe world of animals,such as a‘herd’ of buffaloes, and ‘herding’ bees, cats, and sheep.Three chapters use metaphors drawn from gender roles,such as father, man, and Lady Wisdom. The final two chapters employmetaphors of motion, namely,aflowing stream and agility. Credit for the choiceofthe topic for this book must be giventoMatsAlvesson and AndrØ Spicer,who edited the book, Metaphors we lead by. This book really was an ‘eye-opener’ for manyofus, and its insightsinspiredour ownresearch. The starting pointfor this book was aconference on metaphors for leader- ship,held on 25–27 April2018, at Karimu in Burbach, Germany. Scholars from four differentcontinents, Africa, Asia, Europe, and NorthAmerica, attended. Their professional background was verydiverse. Apartfrommanytheologians, linguists, computer scientists, and specialists for organisation developmentat- tended. This mixture made for adiverse and inspirational atmosphere. Later, authors whohad not attended the conference also contributed chapters to the book. © 2019, V&R unipress GmbH, Göttingen ISBN Print: 9783847109150 – ISBN E-Book: 9783847009153 Stefan Jung / Volker Kessler / Louise Kretzschmar / Elke Meier (eds.): Metaphors for Leading – Leading by Metaphors 10 Foreword This conference, the fourth international Christian Leadership Conference, was hosted by GBFE, aconsortium of ten European Colleges (www.gbfe.eu), together with Wycliffe Germany(www.wycliff.de), and the YMCA Universityof Applied Sciences, Kassel (www.cvjm-hochschule.de).

  • Introduction It Goes Without Saying, Comrades, That Organising Is a Very Crucial Element of the Machinery of the Party- Building Programme
    Introduction It goes without saying, comrades, that organising is a very crucial element of the machinery of the Party- building programme. It is its engine and nuts and bolts. If we have not yet assembled our machine as we would have desired, bear in mind that the National Organising Committee was only formed in late August. Indeed, I am very new in this post, having been appointed convenor of the committee on August 26. Section 1 Party of a new type 1) VANGUARD MASS PARTY The question that confronted the Party immediately after its unbanning was: What kind of Party should we build? The question arose because its unbanning after 40 years underground meant the Party could exist and woik legally in South Africa. What had become clear even as we were still banned and working underground was that the Party continued to enjoy a lot of support from our people. In determining our work within the legal space offered us by the new political conditions in our motherland, we had to take into serious consideration the tremendous mass support accorded us. The decisions taken in the circumstances were: 1. That the Party be transformed to accommodate a large membership. 2. That it would still be possible for the Party, despite the large membership, to retain its vanguardist role. We felt it could be a vanguard party of a new type with all its members being activists. We felt also that this vanguard party of a new type had to be open to public scrutiny. We said the vanguard party had to be open to all questions from the masses in a new culture of open debate and discussion.

    Narratives of Contradiction: South African Youth and Post-Apartheid Governance By Elene Cloete Ó 2017 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Anthropology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________ Chairperson John M. Janzen, Ph.D. ________________________________ Hannah E. Britton, Ph.D. ________________________________ Donald D. Stull, Ph.D. ________________________________ Elizabeth L. MacGonagle, Ph.D. ________________________________ Byron Caminero-Santangelo, Ph.D. Date Defended: May 17, 2017 The Dissertation Committee for Elene Cloete certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Narratives of Contradiction: South African Youth and Post-Apartheid Governance _______________________________ Chairperson John M. Janzen Date approved: May 17, 2017 ii Abstract South Africa’s heralded democratic transition digressed from its 1994 euphoric optimism to a current state of public discontent. This stems from rising unemployment, persistent structural inequality, and a disappointment in the African National Congress-led government’s inability to bring true social and economic transformation to fruition. While some scholars attribute this socioeconomic and political predicament to the country’s former regimes, others draw close correlations between the country’s post-apartheid predicament, ANC leadership, and the country’s official adoption of neoliberal economic policies in 1996. Central to this post-euphoric moment is the country’s Born-Free generation, particularly Black youth, coming of political age in an era of supposed political freedom, social equality, and economic opportunities. But recent student movements evidence young people’s disillusionment with the country’s democratic transition. Such disillusionment is not unfounded, considering the 35% youth unemployment rate and questionable standards in primary education.

  • PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA SE TELKAART - NOGMAALS… Theuns Eloff Is Voorsitter Van Die Adviesraad Van Die FW De Klerk Stigting
    PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA SE TELKAART - NOGMAALS… Theuns Eloff is voorsitter van die Adviesraad van die FW de Klerk Stigting Daar is min kwessies wat so gereeld in gesprekke ter sprake kom as die sukses (al dan nie) van President Cyril Ramaphosa - selfs in hierdie tyd van die Wêreldrugbybeker. Almal (behalwe die Zuptas en die EFF) wil hê dat hy slaag en glo dat hy wil slaag. Maar twyfel vreet aan hierdie vertroue elke keer as daar iets negatief in die land gebeur: vanaf nòg ‘n staatsonderneming wat ‘n reddingsboei wil hê, tot ‘n geval van die verkragting van en moord op ‘n student deur ‘n staatsdienswerker. En die terugkerende refrein is dat as Cyril nie gou slaag nie, sal daar nie ‘n ekonomie en ‘n land oor wees nie. William Saunderson-Meyer het onlangs selfs in ‘n artikel die vraag gevra of Cyril die Tier genoem gaan word of bloot die Gestewelde Kat(jie)? Hoe lyk ons President se prestasietelkaart vyf maande nadat hy die ANC tot ‘n oorwinning by die stembus aangevoer het en daarna vir vyf jaar as President van die land aangewys is? Aan die positiewe kant is daar verskeie sake, waarvan baie in die geraas van ander negatiewe gebeure vergete geraak het. Die aanstelling van ‘n Ekonomiese Adviesraad met verskeie internasionale ekonome en kundiges aan boord, is ‘n positiewe teken. Die afstand wat sommige van hulle van Suid-Afrika en die heersende ideologieë het, kan beteken dat hulle met vars en oorspronklike planne na vore kan kom. Die gedeeltelike aanvaarding van Tito Mboweni se ekonomiese regrukplan deur die ANC se NUK is ‘n tweede positiewe ekonomiese teken.

  • The New Cabinet
    Response May 30th 2019 The New Cabinet President Cyril Ramaphosa’s cabinet contains quite a number of bold and unexpected appointments, and he has certainly shifted the balance in favour of female and younger politicians. At the same time, a large number of mediocre ministers have survived, or been moved sideways, while some of the most experienced ones have been discarded. It is significant that the head of the ANC Women’s League, Bathabile Dlamini, has been left out – the fact that her powerful position within the party was not enough to keep her in cabinet may be indicative of the President’s growing strength. She joins another Zuma loyalist, Nomvula Mokonyane, on the sidelines, but other strong Zuma supporters have survived. Lindiwe Zulu, for example, achieved nothing of note in five years as Minister of Small Business Development, but has now been given the crucial portfolio of social development; and Nathi Mthethwa has been given sports in addition to arts and culture. The inclusion of Patricia de Lille was unforeseen, and it will be fascinating to see how, as one of the more outspokenly critical opposition figures, she works within the framework of shared cabinet responsibility. Ms de Lille has shown herself willing to change parties on a regular basis and this appointment may presage her absorbtion into the ANC. On the other hand, it may also signal an intention to experiment with a more inclusive model of government, reminiscent of the ‘government of national unity’ that Nelson Mandela favoured. During her time as Mayor of Cape Town Ms de Lille emphasised issues of spatial planning and land-use, and this may have prompted Mr Ramaphosa to entrust her with management of the Department of Public Works’ massive land and property holdings.

    http://www.politicsweb.co.za/documents/going-off-the-rails--irr Going off the rails - IRR John Kane-Berman - IRR | 02 November 2016 John Kane-Berman on the slide towards the lawless South African state GOING OFF THE RAILS: THE SLIDE TOWARDS THE LAWLESS SOUTH AFRICAN STATE SETTING THE SCENE South Africa is widely recognised as a lawless country. It is also a country run by a government which has itself become increasingly lawless. This is so despite all the commitments to legality set out in the Constitution. Not only is the post–apartheid South Africa founded upon the principle of legality, but courts whose independence is guaranteed are vested with the power to ensure that these principles are upheld. Prosecuting authorities are enjoined to exercise their functions “without fear, favour, or prejudice”. The same duty is laid upon other institutions established by the Constitution, among them the public protector and the auditor general. Everyone is endowed with the right to “equal protection and benefit of the law”. We are all also entitled to “administrative action that is lawful, reasonable, and procedurally fair”. Unlike the old South Africa – no doubt because of it – the new Rechtsstaat was one where the rule of law would be supreme, power would be limited, and the courts would have the final say. This edifice, and these ideals, are under threat. Lawlessness on the part of the state and those who run it is on the increase. The culprits run from the president down to clerks of the court, from directors general to immigration officials, from municipal managers to prison warders, from police generals to police constables, from cabinet ministers to petty bureaucrats.
